He has 7 carries for 75 yards including a 43-yd TD, and just plucked a horribly inaccurate Brady Quinn screen pass with one hand, accelerated with elite burst for a 25-yard reception, capping it by lowering his shoulder to make a defender woozy. He went out of bounds but stayed on his feet.

He's shown a burst like crazy, breakaway speed, a spin move, the ability to fall forward and keep his feet moving when nothing's there, and now a one-handed catch + impressive RAC.

Somebody just bought a Michael jersey

It just reaffirms the idea that Michael was the most talented back in the draft. He's looked phenomenal so far and he seems to take to the program. If he continues to buy into the program and Lynch declines or misses time within the next two or three years, I expect him to emerge as a premiere back. Just so damn talented. As I type this he just went for 15 and knocked someone down again.

On another note, B.J. Coleman is getting screwed by his teammates. I love his arm.

LB- Doom can take over games as a pass rusher. Couldn't say that about who they let walk in FA. Once Arthur Brown gets his feet under him going to be good.

Back 4- Webb is coming back ( some say he was the best player on that D last year ) Huff will add much needed speed. Matt Elam will knock you out just as quickly as Bernard Pollard will.

You downgraded at Safety by dropping Reed for Huff. Huff was a joke as a Raider. I mean, the Raiders just let him go.

I can see the Ravens being a solid defensive unit, but I think Raven fans are overrating some of the guys they signed a little.

"you're overreacting lol at you stop making inferences based on what you see"

that completely undermines actual analysis and football scouting.

Were you there when Arian Foster broke out? Were you here when we all went nuts about Russell Wilson's preseason? I could go on.

Did you just watch the guy play or are you just here to temper expectations for... I don't even know what goes through people's minds when they say things like that.

"Well I haven't heard about hiim yet so he doesn't matter."

Respect the scouting man. Football discussions are worthless without actual scouting. The kid looked ******* unreal. He was said by many, many, people to be the most talented back in the draft. He's been stellar in camp. Why would you not be sold on him? Why would a strong performance in a preseason game not be enough to be excited about his prospects?

While I agree it's too early to get so excited about Michael, to be fair, he had a really good game in week 1 as well. 16 carries for 89 yards. 27 carries for 186 yards and 1 TD and 1 catch for 25 yards in the 2 games he's played.
